Going to school in Ghana is expensive. Even though the orphans and children from poor families do not pay school fees, they still need pens, pencils, exercise books, shoes and uniforms. Purchasing such articles is very difficult for these children with no or very little financial support from their parents. Often brothers and sisters are forced to share the family’s only pencil during lessons.
Akwaaba Esaase is looking for people willing to sponsor these orphans and children from poor families to enable them to go to school.
The academic year in Ghana is divided into three terms (trimesters). Each trimester costs 85 Euros or 130 CHF for a child attending primary school classes and 95 Euros or 145 CHF for a child attending secondary school classes. This money covers the school fees, meals for the duration of the trimester, and the child’s school material.
As a sponsor you will regularly receive a letter from your sponsored child together with a photo, as well as becoming a member of the Akwaaba Esaase organisation.
If you are interested in sponsoring a child please contact us! (See the section ‘Contact Us’)
